Another blogger supporting Fred Smith
Other bloggers supporting Fred Smith for Governor include Katy Benningfield (Katy's Conservative Corner), Scott Elliott (Election Projection), John Hawkins (Right Wing News), Bob Owens (Confederate Yankee), Dean Stephens (Inner Banks Eagle) and Sister Toldjah.I decided over the last week that I was going to vote for Fred Smith in the GOP gubernatorial primary. And last night, I had the opportunity to attend a rally held in Greensboro on his behalf, and meet him briefly.
Right now, it appears that the GOP gubernatorial primary is essentially a two-man race. And of those two men, I think Senator Smith is the better candidate to represent conservative Republican ideals.
Smith has a varied list of policy positions on his website, and is a consistent conservative. He is pro-life and pro-family. He wants to hold the line on spending by our state government, and reorder its priorities. He advocates stopping the raid of the state Highway Trust Fund, and promoting charter schools. He champions tort reform and market-driven, consumer-directed health care. He talks about constitutional amendments on eminent domain and the definition of marriage. He espouses traditional conservative Republican approaches to job creation and crime control.
